xoxo ♥
Bee-You-Tee-Ful Eagle at BWE...The colors there are so spectacular !
Nice church service at Hedgesville. Hedgie, if they are under construction, I did not notice it!
Just wonder what kind of shenanigans there are going on at NCTC when we cannot view the Birds! Plenty of ♥-ing I hope. xo
the hummer cam is so up close and personal this time, feel like you are right in the nest with it
And now, Two at BWE...♥ ♥
You're right, MITS, that bird takes up the whole view! We will be able to count heartbeats!
xo
Off to the groceyr store with
my 91-year old pal...

In re:---those "eeeeeeee" things that we all hate!!---
WV FARMERS WARNED OF PREDATOR BLACK VULTURES---
WV farmers are being warned about a new dark arrival to the state---BLACK VULTURES that prey on newborn livestock.
Unlike their carrion-eating cousins, these predators seek out living animals.
Their beaks are not powerful enough to rip open prey, so they pick at soft flesh & eyes.
The US Dept. of Agriculture said the natives of the southeastern US have been expanding their range to now include WV.
Chris Croson is WV Dir. of the Dept. Wildlife Services. He said there have been reports of these vultures killing newborn calves, lambs & goats.
VULTURES ARE PROTECTED ANIMALS & A PERMIT IS REQUIRED TO KILL THEM.
(the associated press)
Found the above article in 'THE CHARLESTON GAZETTE' paper----I thought you all might be interested!---
Sooooo HELEN!---REMEMBER we need a PERMIT!!! ho!
Good morning; We are getting some
rain today and it isn't very cold.
Later today it is going to get a
bit colder with some snow later in
the week.My winter with the eagles
isn't doing to well,with no snow
and the eagles haven't been around
the nest lately,and with the lakes
being froze they are most likely at
the river or at the power plant.I
will make a trip to see if i can
see any eagles at the power plant.
Our eagle watch days at Duke energy station will be on Jan 24
and 25 and i am looking foward to
that.There are sometimes over 100
eagles there,both adult and younger
birds,and the american eagle
foundation might be there with some
of there birds.Last year they had
a golden eagle,bald eagle,redtail
hawk,owl.and a black valture,and
it was a fun day.
I hope that everyone has a great
day.
Indiana Nesting Eagles----Dave
It was in our paper yesterday, Norma. Eeeeeewieeee!!
Margy, when you check back in....they put an addition on the back of the building (the one that used to be Catlett's greasy spoon!)...don't know how much parking space it cost!!
OREGON NEST still has snow!---But surrounding greenery doesn't have much!!!!-----GOOD SIGN!
2 eagles at BWE now
LOL, down to one as I posted!
GOOD MORNIN' INDIANA DAVE!!---WOW sounds like you have a lot to look forward to on the 24th!!---I think
GLO & DEB have a 24th day everyday in their neck of the woods!!---Wish you a HAPPY NEW YEAR!! & PRAY YOU WILL SEE MANY--MANY EAGLES EVERY DAY!!----That would be COOL!!
Good morning, eveyone. My sister just left from her weekend visit. We had a nice time. It is cold here, -1 this morning.
way to cold, Deb....Dave sounds like a good time
HEDGIE!---I thought it was interesting---I never dreamed you need a permit to shoot one!!---
Dave, bet you can't wait for that excursion!!! Take pics!!! Check momsters mail...Delphia also has an interesting session planned!
MORNIN' DEB!---Now that is a 'wee bit' too COLD!-----Is it expected to warm up?----We are in 20s---BUT NO WIND!!----which makes it feel warmer!!
Me, either, Norma. See them occasionally around here...mostly sitting on fence posts on the nearby farm. Worry then that there is a calf down or away from it's mom and defenseless.
We are headed to 14 today, Norma. Tomorrow is supposed to be in the 20's.
Make that the 30's for tomorrow!
Heat Wave!
PAULA!---I thought I saw you running in the LAKE in your bathing suit last week!! ho!

Guess our cam is still down :>(
More coffee, then try again...
PENNINGTON who plays for MIAMI---played for MARSHALL U---sister went to MARSHALL ---so?
**GOOD MORNING**
**EVERYBODY**
It looks like the heavy, wet fog, as well as the gentle rain, has cleared out this morning, and we are looking at a beautiful day, which eventually will climb into the 60's here in So Cal.
Talking about pro football, The Chargers pulled off a miracle comeback to win the AFC West! Now let's see how far they can carry the ball...they play the Colts this evening in San Diego.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
GOOD MORNIN' NATURENUT!---Sorry--I can't help you!!----But will admire them when you get them posted!!!
MORNIN' MOVIN'JIM!---Who do you chose in the RAVENS v MIAMI game?
Hi Gang ☺
Finally got yesterday's pictures on blog. They are not great, but a beginning of new season and first time I've seen our eagle.
Fubby just hollered that Baltimore & Dolphins are playing!!!!!Later...
Good morning, Norma. How are you??
Who do you chose?? I know you are following the teams in your general area very closely.
iT looks like the know-it-alls on-line are picking the Ravens. But they are playing in Miami with the home team getting their first chance at fame in a long time .... Could go to the home team, I say.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Hahaha, Norma. It looks like I said a 'dumb one.' The Chargers already played last night and eliminated the Colts in OT.
CCHHAAAAARRGGEE!!! ALL THE WAY TO A SUPER BOWL WIN!!
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Go Ravens! Get that touchdown!
They settle for a field goal. Game tied 3 all.
JIM!---RAVENS are GOOD!!----They beat my team---DALLAS!----ho!--I bet they will win today!---But MIAMI has a player--PENNINGTON--who played at MARSHALL U---my sister's school!!
Information on the Tesoro nest from the Maine forum:
I heard from Lynda White a while back (early Dec.) and she indicated that she was having difficulty getting a response from Tesoro regarding access to the nest. At that time, they apparently had not been able to check on them.
I'm not sure whether that means a problem with that relationship and I didn't ask any questions.....don't believe it is our business. I'm sure that if she is able to check on them, she will post something as we aren't the only ones that were following this nest. ....She indicated that she misses them terribly as well.
She did say that she is in hopes of funding for next season for a nest in the Orlando area......likely that means the fall of 2009.
I was lucky enough to be videoing the TH nest when they bonded this morning.
Pair Bonding at Two Harbors
Well, I don't follow football much, but I sure follow posted pics! Loretta's are Greeaatttt!
Yeeee-Ha! Wow, Paula, that is a terrific video!! You know how to be in the right place at the right time !!
Hi, Deb ...I haven't been around long enough to catch on to Tesoro, though I viewed some things here and there that you all had posted...hope you guys get your wish and they can be seen again...
And how is your Uncle getting along? Glad to hear you had a nice visit with your sister....tough when family has to leave though....I always was so sad after the holidays when all my brothers and sisters went back to college..when I was little....:(
xo
Hedgie... when you check back in, - I went in and out the front entrance...it will be interesting to see how it all develops. It is a nice little parish with a great priest, so I hope it works out well. The priest is a former Marine, who travels back to North Carolina to a base there where he is a military chaplain, then he returns here on Friday, gets flown in and out both ways. Once a marine, always a marine, really. He was also assistant pastor at Saint James in Charles Town for a few years. Truly, one of a kind.
I'm going to flake out for awhile with some magazines and tea, catch you folks later...xox
Interception and TD Ravens!!
My uncle is moving his ankle now on the his left leg, still nothing on the right leg. The doctors are giving him a 50/50 chance of walking again, which is quite a change from no chance. I think he is determined enough to do the work to make it happen!
Oh, I forgot to mention, there is a Potomac Valley Master Naturalist Class starting in February hereabouts, with half the training to take place at Cacapon State Park in Morgan County, WV, and the other half, to take place, at, you guessed it: NCTC !! Classes begin in March and end in October of this year. 64 hours of classroom time, 30 hours of volunteer work, tuition $300 per person, and limited to 20 persons....This was in Saturday's Martinsburg Journal....
Now I really wish I was retired !
If anyone wants additional information I have a name and contact number and a few other details....
Whoa! I should have checked for an update before I posted that, the neurologist was in, very slow progress in the right leg. We'll take it, way better than no progress!!
Deb that is good news, and encouraging to know he has the determination to make it happen...can tell he is kin to you!
Prayers continue every day for him and all the family...
...Later... xo
talked to Ceil, right before I went to mass, they were in Whitefish, Montana, about 2 hours behind schedule, they are expecting blizzard conditions tonight as the head to ND, she doesn't thin k they will make it home by Tuesday, but said they had a good time...Have been watching robins in the backyard, they always come for a winter visit, don't know why?
Ravens are whooping the Dolphins!!
Oops...looks like Miami is going to score...DEFENSE!
Score...drat.
PAT blocked!!! Alright!!!
Loretta, I think the pics are great! So glad you were able to see your very "own" eagle!!
Oh, no, Mits.....poor Ceil, Jim and MM....maybe the forecast will be wrong, or the front will slow down until they get through that area!
Deb, attitude is half the battle, and it sounds like Unc has the right stuff!! Praying that improvement continues! How old is he?
Great news Deb!
Go Ravens! Since my Skins aren't "in it", gotta defect to the AFC for the duration of this season since Baltimore IS!! Kind of the 2nd close-to-hometown team!
Ravens Looking Good!!!
If the Skins are out of the picture, at least we have a local team to root for!
Deb, encouarging news about your Uncle. ☺
Lynn, good minds think alike! I hadn't read current comments!
Paula, great video ;>)
lOOK at BWE ... eagle there.
I see Ballimore won again. Look out.
C(°Ù¿°)D
Jim
Yay Ravens!
Our cam is still stuck!
Good evening everyone!
Eagle BWE
Hey, Girl! How ya feeling?
Been wondering where the Bluefield gang was!! Hey there, Sharon!! How are you feeling??? You didn't overdo New Years' did you??
...Regarding the Master Naturalist Program: "After completing the training and volunteer work, particpants can engage in such activities as leading interpretive walks at state parks, assising state biologists with research and giving presentations to school children and other groups....
"A limited number of scholarships are available, deadline for submitting applications is Feb 13, 2009, but candidate and scholarshp selection will begin in January."
Norma: You always wanted to "pay" to work at NCTC ☺
Hi, Ladies...I've been wondering about the Bluefield Beauties, too. I guess I missed Sharon getting her last drain out? And Sissy's ankle is healing?
Cigarettes a thing of the past, Sharon? Easier now? How about you, Paula??
Loved seeing your Pileated Woody, Loretta. We have a family of them in our woods, hear them often, see them seldom. They are one of my favorites:)
Hi Everyone. So glad to see some good news ont he Blog. Folks who are recovering are checking in. Great news on continued progress for Debs uncle. Got some travelers who still need to return home. Some folks still getting their strength back form illnesses and surgeries and MeMa Jo checking in. Hoping each day she feels stronger.
Perhoas tomorrow we will get to see the happenings in our nest.
I am actually just now sitting down to watch the Rose Parade. I got it taped on HGTV :) but have taken no time to watch it yet. Tonight is the night :).
Hi, Glo. Glad you are still up and about. We do miss Jo, and hope she will return tomorrow along with our cam;)
Eagle at LW!
Wanda, I see the pileateds all the time...as they continue to destroy my trees!!! But they are beauties...like I said once before here...don't know how they don't end up with a headache!
hi ya....nice win for the Ravens,,,Sharon still has one more drain to go:)
I guess we are lucky here, Lynn; the only tree they bother here is a big walnut stump, which they both (male & female) pound at. They must have an exceptionally hard head. I get a headache just watching those headbangers:) They don't visit us very often, I guess, because there are so many other trees in the woods which are appetizing to them.
That seems like an awfully long time to have a drain in your body. I had only one with Gall Bladder surgery and thought that was awful, but it was gone by the time I went home (7 or 8 days). I know she will be soooo glad to get rid of it.
Anyone else having Blogger issues? Seems like everytime I try to refresh, it hangs up. Have to end task on IE to get back on.
So if you don't see me anymore tonight, I have given up!
Paula I was just going to tell you that for once I am not having any problems, but Blogger Cop got me!
I have not had much opened up today, except to have a quick peek then close them out...also closing Blog out when I leave the house...
Now, will this one go ?
Good Night if we don't see you again ! xo
raccoon at PA, deer at snowman cam.
eagle at Caltran
Paula, I have had trouble with the blog for several weeks now:(
both eagles at Caltran....sorry your team lost, Deb, I know Redskins fans aren't happy to see Eagles win.
poof-poof at Caltran
both back at Caltran
wow, checked in too late to see Caltrans Eagles....Sigh -
That mess o'racoons at Pix PA is doing the get-well Jo routine
..they miss her her as much as WE do !
Good evening! Just watched The Bucket List. Good movie!
Jack and I had a picnic tonight and grilled hot dogs in the fireplace. LOL Even spread a picnic cloth.
Read quickly through the blog. I have never seen a pileated woodpecker and would dearly love to see one.
Wanda Sorry I checked out on you last night without saying good nite. Got distracted, I guess. I got a new camera recently, but decided I wanted a laptop more than a more expensive camera. I mainly take pictures of family and a small digital is all I need. The laptop is going to be great on trips. Interesting story about my new camera. My brother gave me and my sister small checks at the wedding in November. It was the end of Mother's money. We lost her two years ago. She did not have much, she had been a widow since '69 and we all shared in her expenses and let her keep her small income. She fretted that she could not by the whole family gifts. Well, Momma gave me a gift. I got my new camera.
Lolly - that is a beautiful story, about your camera.
I have a feeling that many of us are in fact having trouble getting the Blog to refresh...me too included now... so I am going to try to sneak this one, and then say:
Good Night to all, Peace, Love and Prayers....look forward to tomorrow's miracles. xox ♥
Nite Margy! I have not had any problem refreshing, will see what happens.
Deer at snowman cam.
Lolly, who do you have as your Provider for your lap top? Do you have an Air Card? I'm so confused as to what steps you have to take before the lap top is usable.
***good night***
***eVerybody***
I'm glad your New Year is coming out as it should thus far. Keep the roll going. [:~D]
Jim
My main reason for wanting a new camera, is because I have a terribly unsteady hand and have ruined many good shots because of that. Also, I take a lot of photos through the windows of the Eagle Express and the camera that we were looking at addresses both of those issues.
Good Night Jim...have a good week:)
I guess I am next in line to call it a day.
GOOD NIGHT EVERYONE
SWEET DREAMS
PRAYERS FOR ALL
Good night, Wanda...
Unsteady hand... So you got a camera that limits the motion in your shots? (can't think of the exact term now).
You might also think of a monopod and a short remote cable.
That way you place the monopod on the floor of the vehicle and hold onto that. Then you use the remote cable with your right hand.
You will have more stability from the monopod, and your hands will never directly touch the camera at the moment that you are shooting photos.
Jim
And I'm next. Fell asleep watching Bro's & Sis's.
I haven't had any blog problems at all yesterday or today..miracle!
Peace and prayers. PLEASE GET WELL, JO, and all others who are feeling badly!
Have a good day at work tomorrow, Margy!
Hey, Jim, I was thinking of telling Wanda the same thing!
One last thought....Geula, if you are lurking....praying for your safety and peace in your country. Heard on the news that NYC Mayor Blumberg was there today!
Wanda, we have a router and it sends the signal from our home computer and phone line to this computer. When we are on the road we will have to connect at RV parks with wifi. People where you puchase a computer will help you to understand.
Good Night from you absent Eagle Buddy
Doing a bit better today - going to call for an appointment tomorrow and get a miracle drug!
Prayers for all being said!
((hugs))
Good night from your absent eagle buddy
Feeling a bit better today but nor too much better so I will be seeing the Dr tomorrow.
Prayers for all being said
((((hugs)))) ♥
As you can read
I AM STILL A BIT DOPEY !!
Nite Jo, sure hope you get the miracle drog tomorrow. We miss Nite all!. Sweet dreams!
Meant we miss you! time for bed! LOL
Good Early morning folks.
Geula has posted a message on the Eaglet page, she and family are still safe, and she asks for our prayers for peace.
Dayshift for me today starting at 6 AM -
Hope you all get to see some action at NCTC today...
Things sure look cold in Finland, looks like ice is forming on the water.
Hope it is a good day for all, full of wellness, and your favorite things.
xo ☺
Good morning my friends!! I see our cam is messed up, bummer. 2 sea eagles at Finney, absolutely breathtaking!!
Sorry I missed ya magpie! I don't know how you work on these different shifts. I would never be able to rest switching around like that. You are such a trooper!
